OK May last Leroy Deaton, living near
Enochville, Rowan county, n. c., was married
to an estimable young lady of the neighborhood,
| and in a few days thereafter the couple paid a
| visit to friends at Mooresville, Iredell county.
| On the night following the arrival at the place
| some of the young friends of the couple sere-
naded them after midnight. One of the sere-
| nading instruments was a drum, which was
| thrust through an open window of the room in
| which the couple were sleeping and beaten VIC
| lently. The shock was too great for the nerv-
| Gus system of the young wife, and she was
| thrown into spasms from fright. Every effort
| has since been made to restore her to her usual
| health, but she gradually grew worse until she
| died.

him to reach, then retires his kennel, and does
| not 20 to sleep, but sinks, in all appearances in
| profound slumber. The fowls presently come
| pecking about and some appetizinB mOrsels lie
on the ground just, as it seems out of their

| looks, in a condition of slumber, and so, gaining
| confidence, an ncautious fowl is tempted Then,
| with spring, out bounds Mr.. Fox there is a de-

with chicken for supper.
Mas. PIERRE LoRLLARD is said to have discov-
| cred in a Newport store a set Of antique Dutch
cut glass that proved to be one of the oldest
things. Some industrious Dutch workman must
| have spent year on each of the pieces. The
dishes We're ohlOng in shape, with a silver bow
fora handle. And he had bestowed the most
delicate mathematical work upon the sides,
| edges and bottom of each. Exquisite little
roses, no larger than pea, were cut on every
facet, and the crystal was like diamonds. Mrs
| Ioracd bounced on them with the intuition of
appreciation. They were wrapped in square

most artistic bric-a-brac shown at Newport,

A KANGAROO III INC IullaOcIDlia zoo mas de
serted its fourmonth-od baby and the little
longlcgged specimen is being brought up on
the bottle This is a state of affairs that has
never been known to exist before in this coun-
| try if, indeed, it has ever been heard of any
| where. AS is well known to scientists the
female kangaroo takes the young one at its
birth and places it in the pouch which nature
| has provided for the purpose, carrying it there
| and nourish!ng it until the young jumper is old
| enough and strong enough 10 look out for itself
| l. appears the mother kangaroo became fright
| ened at something and suddenly threw out the
| young one she Lad been carrying. The little
| one was not able to care for itself, and the
| keepers made several attempts to replace it in
| the mothers pouch Each time, rs soon as the
| keepers withdrew, the mother threw il out.

| even exchange any words or ieas on the sub

| Prof Granchor or the doctors who assisted him.
